What dumb thing have you done this weekend?

[wearewizardsofoz]

Here's mine. I went to a theme park yesterday. Being mid 40s, 3 kids and a mild prolapse I suffer from light bladder leakage, screaming and bumps are a problem so I made sure I put on my period pants for any little leaks.

I put them on INSIDE OUT! Completely ineffective.

Make me feel better, what dumb thing have you done this weekend?

Booked a ticket for the wrong cinema. Luckily exchanged the ticket and still saw the film (albeit missed the first 5 mins).

Ha! The other day I omitted to remove the bit of paper from the wings of an overnight sanitary towel.

Fortunately the spotting that had prompted the use of the sanitary towel was the arrives-earlier-than-the-main-event type, so I discovered this on going to the loo the next morning, not on waking up in a bloodbath!

If Friday counts... I walked into my own towbar while putting the shopping in the boot. The towbar thats been there for two years nearly, its not a new thing.
One swollen and bruised knee!

Didn’t realise that I had left my keys in a unlocked car overnight, husband drove off with them still in car and I needed to get my son to an important appointment but didn’t have my keys for the other car.
Discovered that the new pants I’d bought were thongs 🤢I’m 62 for heavens sake!
I don’t think I should be allowed out any more 😕

I can definitely empathise with the need for a more supportive pair of pants lol

I picked up the wrong bottle and attempted to clean the oven with Febreeze not oven cleaner. I can report that it doesn't work.

Keep talking people, I feel better already!

I'd like to blame my stupidity on peri menopause but my doctor assures me that's not the case.

Ok just a bit stupid then! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Tried to get into a car parked in the supermarket car park which looked just like mine. I kept pushing the button on the remote but nothing happened. Even tried unlocking it manually with the key 😳

wearewizardsofoz I’m peri too, I am always doing numb-nut things these days!

Not this weekend, but recently realised I had used nail varnish remover on my face rather than toner.

God scares me to think about it, I was in the zone (I know, cringe) cooking, chopping, chopping, listening to music, had a big knife in my hand, went to open the refrigerator door with same hand as held the knife, spun the knife around blade towards me, grabbed the refrigerator and opened it with the knife holding hand and nearly stabbed myself in the face (fridge opens all along the side so my knife wielding hand was up high)

I almost stabbed myself in the face with a huge knife and the force of the refrigerator door behind it

Put on my dressing gown instead of coat. Luckily realised before I left the house.

As that is the only daft thing I've done this weekend, I feel I'm winning at life!

Stood heavily on the edge of the tray with the kittens water biscuits and wet food on catapulting it all over the lounge and self.
Spent ages picking meaty flakes out of the shaggy rug.

Jesus! This is why I hate using knives, not sure I can be trusted either!

I sprayed what I thought was hair-styling spray all over my hair. It was Soap & Glory body spray - at least it smells nice.

I took the dog out for a walk near a river today. Threw the ball in the river and it got stuck in some roots under the bank. I thought it would be a good idea to lie down and reach with my arm. I went plop - up to my neck in freezing cold water! I was so pissed off with my self I stormed back to the car with squelchy wellies with the dog following me meekly behind.

After all that I didn't even find the ball 🙄

I struggled to park the car this morning. Took it too sharp and hit the curb and just couldn't get the right angle. When I eventually got it right, I realised my manager was sat in the car behind me. When he asked me how I was today, I said jokingly I'd be ok if I'd managed to park easily this morning - he's lovely but foreign and doesn't get our sense of humour

I laughed out loud at this....I don't know why I found this in particular so amusing!

This morning I went to get clean clothes out of my drawers which, since I'm pregnant and feeling not-so-fresh I dipped my hand into the panty liner box to find it was empty. I rummaged round in my knicker drawer and discovered I did have one (and only one) lurking after all.

I took said clothes and liner into the bathroom and popped them on the side of the bath whilst I had a wash and brushed my teeth. Upon grabbing my knickers to get dressed, I accidentally knocked the panty liner into the bath, right after my DP had finished his shower. And it landed soft, non-paper side down (of course it fucking did), instantly sucking up water in the bath tub.

Walked into town to have tea with a friend I haven't seen for ages. We piled our coats and bags onto the empty chair at our table. Had to leave in a bit of a rush, but it did not stop us continuing to chat all the way until our ways parted.

Got home, reached into my bag for the house key - yup, I didn't have my bag. And therefore no phone, either.

I walk back into town. Halfway there a car starts honking me - it's my lovely friend! She only realised she had my bag when she put all the bags down at home, so she loaded up her dc and went out of her way to where they had to go in order to get it back to me asap.

This weekend has been fairly event free for me but I did leave the car unlocked yesterday as Ds1 was far too excited about seeing his new bunk bed to get his own stuff out the car so I was rushing and forgot to lock it overnight.
